She said as she walked back, she could hear what the man was saying to her 4-year-old.

“He was telling my son, ‘You need to go to the bathroom, you need to use the bathroom.’ And my son said, ‘No, I don’t.’ He said, ‘Yes, you do. You need to go to the bathroom.’ And he asked him about three or four times that I heard and that’s when I stepped in.”

Following the incident, Clark reported the crime to RDU police and posted a picture she took of the man on her Facebook page.

Police have confirmed they are investigating but have not released the man’s identity.

Clark said she just wants people to be aware and alert.

“I just want to warn other parents to let people know that this predator is out here preying on people. And I feel like he targeted me because I am a single mom.”
